romance and murder go so well together

[ If the colorful posters from Tuesday weren't enough, Yato has redoubled his efforts for today and slapped these up all over the place:



We are admittedly not entirely sure what the heck the catgirl is there for, but she's there. Anyway, in the dining hall this evening, Aqua and Yato have set things up for a group dinner!! All the food is being put on one table; the rest of the room is for mingling and is colorfully decorated in a way that suggests that Yato went wild in the art room at some point and decided what we all really need in our lives is more color and more glitter!!

There's also this piece of paper with everybody's names on it in pairs, and sets of questions (red tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet). That's right, your mystery game is speed-dating and Yato is here to be your cupid for the evening!! ]

[ THIS TIMING ISN'T WEIRD AT ALL. Especially with the love talk... isn't he married?? Is platonic speed dating a thing? ]

The King thought this was just eating...! [ At least he's calmer that it's with Cherryblod. --A little. ]
cherryblooded: (smile / that so?)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-22 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
[It is now!]

It's alright, Your Majesty. You know I'm not interested in romance here, so it'll just be us getting to know each other. Is that okay?
neverafters: (the king was aloof)

[personal profile] neverafters 2016-03-22 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... In that case, The King thinks that should be fine? The King asked, how should they start?

[ What are normal friendships like where you don't just absorb everything about the other??? ]
cherryblooded: (smile / that so?)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-22 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[What are normal friendships like, indeed.]

How about... I ask you a question first, and if you don't want to answer it, that's perfectly fine. We're here to have fun, after all, not make people uncomfortable.
neverafters: (the king was proud)

[personal profile] neverafters 2016-03-22 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Do murdervault ones even count under there, is the question. ]

Alright, The King said. The King is ready.
cherryblooded: (smile / happy)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-22 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
'What would constitute a "perfect" day for you?'

[That should be easy enough.]
neverafters: (the king had a flower)

[personal profile] neverafters 2016-03-22 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm... Being on the Holiday Star in itself! The King sits on his royal throne, then happily meets with the citizens. The weather is just right, and it is not raining.

Now it is... The King's turn, is he right? The King will pick... 'Is there something that you've dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven't you done it?'
cherryblooded: (smile / ho ho)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-22 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing really comes to mind. When you're as old as me, you tend to get around to doing all the important things you want to do.
neverafters: (the king was curious)

[personal profile] neverafters 2016-03-22 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
The King recalled... it was over 500 years, on the profile?

[ --This almost feels redundant after he had the same conversation with Yato when he first got here, but. ]

The King is surprised, The Shrimp doesn't look that age at all.
cherryblooded: (smile / sigh)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-22 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Five hundred and thirty one.

Speaking of that, though, I've been wondering something about your age. You're twenty... plus five? How does that work?
neverafters: (the king didn't know)

[personal profile] neverafters 2016-03-22 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
The King... does not recall the five. The King is also as confused as The Shrimp in that question.

[ But he does know he can't technically be called only twenty now either, right...? ]

Ah... maybe The King forgot his age, but The Bad Man was somehow able to remember for him.
cherryblooded: (calm / say what)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-22 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm... Well, we're all having memory problems anyway.

[This is an adequate explanation.]

'What does friendship mean to you?'
neverafters: (the king could not see)

[personal profile] neverafters 2016-03-23 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Normally he'd seize up at that question entirely, but... he actually manages to stay composed this time. This is okay he... should associate it with the earlier memory he had with that bird. ]

The King answered: Friendship is... support when one feels like nothing can go right. Friendship is not being left behind.

... Friendship is being happy together.
cherryblooded: (smile / relieved)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-23 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Those are good answers.

Do you have friends like that here?

[He'd like to hope so. The people here are kind, murders aside.]
neverafters: (the king could not tell)

[personal profile] neverafters 2016-03-23 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ MURDERS ASIDE... ]

The King... is worried if they do not feel the same way? [ It's happened before... kinda... ]
cherryblooded: (calm / thoughtful)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-23 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Don't think that's likely. The people here seem like honest people, and you're a likable bird.
neverafters: (We were always right there)

[personal profile] neverafters 2016-03-23 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ He'd debate the honesty part what with his murder fears but... he'll keep that to himself for now. Instead, he's going to turn a bit pink at the compliment! His reply almost sounds like a happy little cheep. ]

Does... does The Shrimp truly think so?
cherryblooded: (smile / wink)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-23 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[That's adorable.]

Of course I do. So, you can at least be sure that we're friends.
neverafters: (the king's tears flowed)

[personal profile] neverafters 2016-03-23 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
The Shrimp is... such a good friend!

[ NOW HE'S EMOTIONAL AGAIN. ]

What should The King say? Should The King merely say "thank you"...? Can he put it that simply?

[ He pauses, then firmly nods. ] Then... The King shall say it with certainty too. He and The Shrimp... are friends.
cherryblooded: (smile / that so?)

[personal profile] cherryblooded 2016-03-23 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[That's adorable.]

I'm glad to have made friends with you, Your Majesty.
